| + | # Discover Nearby Nodes |
| + | |
| + | How do I Discover Nearby Nodes? |
| + | |
| + | Once you have connected to and configured your companion node: |
| + | |
| + | 1. open the app if not already open |
| + | 2. Tap the three "..." menu at the top right |
| + | 3. Select "Tools" |
| + | 4. Select "Discover Nearby Nodes" |
| + | 5. Tap the "Discover Repeaters" button |
| + | |
| + | A list of repeaters that is reachable from your companion node will be displayed, along with the signal strength. |
| + | |
| + | If you don't see any, try changing the [[Radio Settings|Mesh/Radio Settings]] to Narrow or Wide and try again. |
| + | |
| + | If you don't see any at all, try moving to a different location (e.g Outside, 2nd story, other end of the house). It may be there are no nodes reachable from your location and you could be the first person to put one in your suburb! |

| + | ## What's Narrow, Wide, Mid? |
| + | |
| + | This is a shorthand convention to refer to these frequency settings: |
| + | |
| + | | Setting | Wide | Narrow | Mid | |
| + | | ---------------- | ------- | ------- | ------- | |
| + | | Frequency (MHz) | 915.800 | 916.575 | 915.075 | |
| + | | Bandwidth (kHz) | 250.0 | 62.5 | 125.0 | |
| + | | Spreading Factor | 11 | 7 | 9 | |
| + | | Coding Rate | 5 | 8 | 5 | |
| + | |
| + | * **Narrow** uses the out of the box **Australia (Narrow)** prefix without alteration. |
| + | * **Wide** uses the out of the box **Australia** prefix, but changes *Spreading Factor* from 10 to 11. |
| + | * **Mid** is not a common setting, and is currently only being used for [[Mid Testing]]. It may become a future setting of the mesh depending on the results. |

| + | # Which Radio Settings Do I Use? |
| + | |
| + | You've checked the [[Radio Settings|Faq/Radio Settings]] and wondering which one to use? |
| + | |
| + | Here are a few ways to find routers near you: |
| + | |
| + | 1. If you're South of the [Latte Line](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latte_Line) (Western Sydney, Southwest Sydney, Blue Mountains), try Wide first, otherwise try Narrow. |
| + | 2. Check [beefmesh.link](https://beefmesh.link) and filter by active Narrow or Wide nodes, look what is close to you. |
| + | 3. Try setting your node to Wide or Narrow and then [[Discover Nearby Nodes|Faq/Discover Nearby Nodes]] |
| + | 4. If you're totally lost, ask on the [discord](https://discord.gg/Du437Usj3K) (Join the discord anyway, it's full of people in Sydney talking about the Mesh) |
